Nambucca Head’s Bellwood Park the ideal setting for 2026 Rotary River Run

THE recent Rotary River Run was a great success, providing runners with a picturesque course and no road crossings.

Held at Nambucca Head’s beautiful Bellwood Park on Sunday, 13 September, the fourth annual 5km community event attracted a strong field.

Entrants were keen to conquer the new course, which followed the scenic riverside path from Bellwood Park to the V-Wall and return.

Local businesses generously supported the event, donating 23 prizes.

Winners in each division received prizes valued at $100 and a perpetual trophy.

The winners included:

– Men’s Division: Ferdinand Kous

– Women’s Division: Tamara Urquhart

– Family Division: Ferris Family – Nathan, Alison and Skye

– Junior Boys’ Division: Ben Ackerman

– Junior Girls’ Division: Lucy Ferris

– Team Division: Two Wolk CrossFit – Brendan Goswell, Damien Wood and Chris Barnes.

“Rotary wishes to thank all participants, volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses that all helped make the fourth Rotary River Run such a success,” a club spokesperson said.

“Funds raised support young people in our community, helping Rotary continue its commitment to providing opportunities and making a positive difference in the lives of local youth.”
